Hi Everyone,
we have a new WME version that includes mainly changes in user permissions:
Happy Editing!
Any thoughts about allowing us to make a L1 editor trusted, once we know they have the hang of URs?

Then just manually promote them locally to L2.
An L1 editor can still respond to URs and work issues, they just can’t close them, correct?. Getting to L2 isn’t terribly difficult and early promotions are still possible. I think this is a welcome change.
What’s the reason for not allowing L2 to set difficult turns?
(I’m glad I managed to set all the most important difficult turns around here before this change :roll: )
Very likely because many new users don’t know the various editing standards in their region, and no doubt some have never communicated with their respective community. I know we had some that went around and set a ton of them to difficult turns without any discussion and caused a number of issues. We had to go back and remove all of them which took a lot of time away from other tasks.
thanks, the new version is very nice, thanks again and happy editions for all 
this will help a lot so that the new editors get closer to the community of each country 
Thank you for the new permissions update!
Has it been considered to have junction boxes lowered from 5 to 4 (maybe 3?)? I thought in the ROW servers, JB’s were lower ranked, or able to be set lower.
Who has the master list of editing limitations per Level?

ETA: I started a thread for it here: https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1636&t=247385
Agree.
I also agree with this idea and the new permissions. This will also help promote the use of the Mentoring program for newer editors, and bring those lower ranking editors into the community to work together.
Huge thanks for the UR-closing restriction to L2+!
As it happens, I proposed this 3 and a half years ago. After a year with no traction I was discouraged. After two years I was frustrated and depressed. The third year I became resigned and fatalistic. After that I went into a bit of a decline.*
Anyway it’s wonderful to see this happen!

That’s actually quite fast in terms of waze time
ROW user here. R4 can see and tinker with the JB option, but can’t save them (yet).
That is great news on UR closures!
Thank you for the new update.
I just had a report from a level 1 user who gets the message he needs to be level 3 before he can manage the UR. Either the text is wrong (adding a level to the normalized level instead of the 0-based level?) or there’s an additional rule for managing URs outside of the management area. I’m a bit hesitant to create a bug topic about this as I’m not certain whether there actually is a bug.
Please open a bug.
Ok, will do.
